A web container handles requests for servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and other types of files that include server-side code. The web container creates servlet instances, loads and unloads servlets, creates and manages request and response objects, and performs other servlet management tasks. The web server plug-ins, provided by the product, help supported web servers to pass servlet requests to web containers.

Servlet source and class files, user profile data, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) configuration, and administrative configuration should be considered for backup when using servlets. You should consider saving your HTTP configuration because changes to the HTTP configuration are often made to enable WebSphere® Application Server to serve servlets and JSP requests, and to enable WebSphere Application Server security. You should consider backing up the user profile data if you use the User Profile function of WebSphere Application Server.
